Does hunting in high temperature/hot sun affect selfbows?
mullet:
Marc,Our archery season starts Sept. 22.It usually is in the low 90's and about 65 percent humidity.Forget scent block here,just hunt the slight breeze. ;D and change into dry clothes at lunch.

I have never had any problems, i hunted pigs down here when it was 97 last week 105 in the sun and left the bow for hours on the ATV and nothing changed.
mullet:
ATV, :o :o :o :o Oh my ;) You live in Fl?
Rich Saffold:
Just don't leave the bow in the car with the windows rolled up when its over 100 outside. No selfbow, or laminate likes to hang out in 130+ from what I have seen. (It wasn't pretty :o)

Interesting replies and experiances..I am in California so the area I was hunting was about 45% humidity at 95 degrees and my bow got hot to touch so I would sit it in the shade for a a minute to cool it down.
I was expecting more set( though I use a low brace height which helps in this regard), but no more than 1/8 inch change at most, however today I put it on the scale and it had gained about 2 pounds...
As someone said I basically toated the belly so mabye it gained from the heat/low humidity..
